ORDER
REASONS
Background
1Simon Halton Hills Holdings Inc. (the “Requesting Party”) requests that the Assessment Review Board (the “Board”) issue an order that the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (“MPAC”) disclose documents with respect to properties not under appeal in this appeal proceeding (“Other Properties”), pursuant to Rule 45 of the Board’s Rules of Practice and Procedure and s. 53(5) of the Assessment Act, R.S.O. 1990, c A.31 (the “Act”). These Other Properties are listed in Attachment 1 to this Order. The requested documents are listed in Attachment 2 to this Order (“Requested Documents”).
2Notice was served on each of the owners/tenants of the Other Properties (“Other Property Owners”) with respect to disclosure of information relating to their property(ies). The Other Property Owners were given notice that they must notify the Requesting Party in writing within 14 days of service of the notice of any objection, failing which, the Board would decide the request.
3The Requesting Party has satisfied the Board that notice has been served on the Other Property Owners and that only one of them objected to MPAC's production of the requested documents. This Other Property Owner was given an opportunity to provide submissions in support of its objection, but has not done so. Consequently, the Requesting Party’s request is unopposed.
4Neither MPAC nor any other party to this appeal proceeding opposes the request.
5As the request is unopposed, the Board grants the request as set out in the Order.
ORDER
6Subject to the terms imposed by MPAC pursuant to its authority under s. 53(5) of the Act, MPAC is required to disclose the Requested Documents to the parties in this appeal proceeding.
